ABSTRACT
Data security has been a major concern in the today’s information technology era. Especially it becomes
serious in the cloud environment because the data is located in different places all over the world.
Encryption has come up as a solution and different encryption algorithms play an important role in data
security on cloud. Encryption algorithms are used to ensure the security of data in cloud. The purpose of
securing data is that only concerned and authorized users can access it. In this paper we describes the basic
characteristics (Key Length, File size) of symmetric Fibonacci Cryptography, Asymmetric RSA algorithms.
KEYWORDS: Encryption, Decryption, Symmetric key, Asymmetric key,Key length.

INTRODUCTION
In today's world of the Internet, everything is going online, from grocery shops to clothing, to consumer
electronics and real estate. There is a need of securing data on the fly, hence we use cryptography. There are
numerous ways of cryptography, each having its own advantages and disadvantages. The cryptography
implemented here will be using a unique technique called encryption-decryption with Fibonacci number
series.
The proposed method will be more concerned with a technique of encoding the text in such a way that the
recipient can only discover the original message. The original message usually called plain text is converted
into cipher text by finding each character in the message and replacing it with another character based on the
Fibonacci number generated. Further cipher text is converted into Unicode symbols, which avoid suspicion
from the third party when sent through an unsecured communication channel.

CRPTOGRAPHY ALGORITHMS
Cryptography means “secret writing” which is the science and art of transforming messages to make them
secure and immune to attacks by unauthorized user. The original data/message, before being transformed is
called cipher text. An encryption is a process to transform the plaintext into cipher text and decryption
transforms the cipher text back into plaintext. The sender uses an encryption algorithm and the receiver uses
a decryption algorithm. Thus, encryption and decryption help to secure transmission of the message and
protect the message from unauthorized users [1][16].
There are three types of cryptography algorithm that are given below [2] [3]:
 Symmetric key cryptography algorithm
 Asymmetric key cryptography algorithm

1.1 SYMMETRIC (SECRET) KEY CRYPTOGRAPHY

This cryptographic method uses of two different algorithms for encryption and decryption respectively, and
a same key is used both the sender and the receiver. The sender uses this key and an encryption algorithm to
encrypt data, the receiver uses the same key and the corresponding decryption algorithm to decrypt that data
[4] [5].

FIBONACCI CRYPTOGRAPHY
Fibonacci Cryptography uses Fibonacci series to encrypt and decrypt messages. It uses same key to encrypt
and decrypt the message. Key length doesn’t affect the performance of algorithm.

1.2 ASYMMETRIC (PUBLIC) KEY CRYPTOGRAPHY

Asymmetric (public) Key Cryptography This cryptographic method makes use of two different algorithms
for encryption and decryption respectively, a public key for encryption and a private key for decryption. The
public key of the sender is used to encrypt the message by the sender. The receiver decrypts the cipher text
with the help of a private key.
RSA
RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) is broadly used an asymmetric encryption /decryption algorithm which
involves a public key and a private key. The public key can be informed to everyone and is used for
encrypting messages. Messages encrypted with the public key can only be decrypted using the private key. It
secured user data assimilate encryption before to storage, user authentication procedures prior to storage or
retrieval, and making secure channels for data transmission [6] [7] [8] [9][16]. 4096 bit key size is used for
execution of RSA algorithm.

ALGORITHM
3.1 ENCRYPTION
Step 1: Enter Plain text.
Step 2: Key generated automatically using random function.
Step 3: Digits in key are summed and kept in sum.
Step 4: If sum<=26 then it will take corresponding lower case alphabet else go to step 4.
Step 5: If sum >27 then sum=sum % 26 and take corresponding alphabet.
Step 6: Generate fibonacci series for number of characters present in plain text starting from 1,2....
Step 7: Take key as first letter in cipher.
Step 8: Consider fibonacci series and jump number of letters and add it in cipher.
Step 9: For each letter in cipher take acsii value of that letter and add ascii value previous and after that
letter. To that sum add ascii value of respective character of plain text.
Step 10: Compare the sum obtained in step 8 with the decimal to unicode symbol table.
Step 11: Then put the unicode symbol in cipher text.
Step 12: Continue from step 9 for all the characters in plain text.
Step 13: Stop.

3.2 DECRYPTION
Step 1: Take cipher text.
Step 2: For each unicode symbol present in cipher text
find its decimal value from decimal to unicode symbol.
Step 3: Generate fibonacci series from 1,2,...
Step 4: Extract key from cipher text.
Step 5 : Take key as first letter in cipher.
Step 6:Consider fibonacci series and jump number of letters and add it in cipher.
Step 7: Take decimal value of each unicode symbol in the cipher text.
Step 8: The ascii value of the key and ascii value of letter previous and after the key are added and this sum
is substracted from decimal value obtained in step 7.
Step 9: The result obtained is the ascii value of each character of plain text.
Step 10: Continue from step 8 for all unicode symbols in cipher text.
Step 11: Stop.

CONCLUSION
Cryptography has evolved from an ancient science to an important area of research to secure
communications. It has evolved from simple substitution ciphers to quantum cryptography. This method
provides the means and methods of hiding data, establishing its authenticity, and preventing its undetected
modification or unauthorized use. In this algorithm key is generated automatically and also hidden in cipher
text which provide confidentiality and reduces the large burden for user. From result analysis we conclude
that time taken for Fibonacci cryptography is less than RSA algorithm.
